Get the point but at the same time why should whoever Spurs play lose out the case to play at Wembley in a cup final. 

Should never be there in the first place as makes the occasion less of a occasion.

No quadruple for Pep. Wigan are the FA Cup masters against City

Good they can't have everything 

They bloody better win this weekend though!

Fuck that. I'd honestly rather Gooners win it.

Josep was getting all pissy, Kyle Walker and Stones shown up,  and the commentator as well.

Well done Wigan with only 18% possession

City going out has to be good. Here's hoping we don't get turfed out by Leicester!

That be typical.

I remember when Liverpool went out to Barnsley everyone was saying it was ours to lose.. And then we also went out to Barnsley... Different situation this time as more top sides in it. Not that matters as anyone can beat anyone

Agreed but they set a precedent after Spurs- Arsenal in 91 which sort of made sense and to a lesser degree Sheffield Utd vs Wednesday in 93. Then we played Luton in 94 we had 45,000 they had about 14,000 and then even more stupid was having Man United- Oldham at Wembley. But  the FA have to pay for the new Wembley so it's going to continue.

damn, Wigan sure do love playing against City in the FA Cup, never expected this. Thats the magic of the cup i guess, thats why we cant be complacent and take teams for granted, we have a realistic shot at this trophy.

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

yeah we should defo set fa cup as major target now. but anything can happen. Mancity approached this tie with much of their 1st XI and still failed miserably. I saw Stones took a leaf out of Cahills book and almost backed himself out of the stadium.

The old cynic in me says that if someone like Costa had done what Aguero did he would have been charged by the FA and probably charged by the police. Hazard took the ball from a ball boy (17 he was which is not a boy in my book) got a three match ban. Aguero hits the geezer and is dragged off the pitch by his teammates and gets precisely fuck all action against him. He said he spat at him which I doubt quite possibly some spittle came out when he shouted at him but the bloke never spat on him deliberately.

No mention of Makelele.. Also Viera should always be in this team. Bit of English bias going on

See this is the problem, the FA cannot separate the two incidents. He was supposedly spat at, then it's simple a ban for life for the supporter and the club fined heavily for their lack of stewarding and being naive to the situation. The next thing, he punches or attempts to punch a fan, if that is not justified punishment then I really haven't a clue what is.

What the FA have done here is take total sympathy with Aguero and actually felt sorry for him. Of course it's awful that he's been supposedly spat on, but they have glossed over it and let him away scot free.

The FA are absolute fucking idiots.

Weird to thing how many chances we had to go 2nd and now Liverpool have leapfrogged everyone...and if we win tommrow that won't change... 

Can see them challenging for definite next season.. Assuming they get the back sorted and hold onto the players they need to.. Joy....
